Oldest commercially produced baseball card?

[barrysloate]

Hi Kevin- the Cincinnati Red Stockings disbanded after the 1870 season. Do you think P & S was still issuing cards of them at that time?

Hi Barry - There was an ad in a 1871 Clipper magazine that offered not only the 1869 Red Stockings Peck and Snyder trade card, but the 1868 Atlantics as well. I can post later on this evening or tomorrow it if anyone is interested.

I am interested in learning more about this. Thanks!

Same here Kevin. I've never heard of that ad, and it sounds like it is really important information. Please post it when you can.

OK will do. I stole it from somebody else on the interweb.

First is the 1869 NY Clipper Ad advertising the CDV coupled with the St. Ann address and the second is an 1871 NY Clipper Ad with three of the different trade cards (1868 Atlantics, 1869 Red Stockings and 1870 Mutuals) along with the ultra rare 1871 team composite CDV's at the 126 Nassau St. address.

That they were for sale in 1871 doesn't mean they were made in 1871.

Interesting thread...Have any of the "1871 team composite CDVs" been offered at action? I'm interested in seeing an image of the 1871 Boston team CDV.

The first baseball card set in the traditional sense that needs no further explanation or justification was the 1885 N167 Old Judge set.

Here are the CDVs that I am aware of. Stole these images from the web as well.
